Belonged to third great aunt who was born in 1849. They came from her rather large house.
This is a pair of antique, late 19th century, Victorian era cast metal figures of a male and female Classicial warrior; likely Diana and Actaeon from Ovid's Metamorphoses. They are tall decorative figures and could be placed on either side of an entryway. Without marks, where these were made and by whom they were designed cannot be definitively stated. The estimate is for the pair together and is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
